for each individual sin #poetry #God #Christ #Spirit #sin #confession #repentance

We say we are sinners
that Christ died for us
that Christ put on our sin, our shame,
When He climbed the rugged cross…
 
But we soften the blow, the hurt,
speaking in generalities about sin
a muted sense of the weight
What Christ carried to the cross…
 
Christ was killed for each individual sin
every one of the awful moments
every single decision we make
Was put upon Him on the cross…
 
Not a clean indictment, simple,
but pages and pages of charges
the endless sins of the flesh
The weight Christ carried to the cross…
 
I confess every one of my sins
those I have forgotten too
all the ways my Savior saved me
When He climbed the rugged cross for me…
